Lobes Of The Brain

Occipital Lobe:

• Located in the posterior section of the brain.
• Input from optic nerve (used for sight)
• Outputs to parietal and temporal lobes

• Contains primary auditory cortex (hearing)
• Inputs are auditory and visual patterns (speech recognition, word recognition, face recognition, memory formation)

• Inputs from multiple senses: touch, temperature, pressure, pain and head

• Outputs to the frontal lobe

Frontal Lobe:

• contains primary motor cortex

• No direct sensory input
• Involved in planning, personality, problem solving, morality and thought
